King Of The Castle

lachlan has been getting more adventurous when it comes to playing with his cubby house. he now will normally refuse any offers of assistance we give when he is climbing up and insist on doing it on his own. he has also decided that he can fly and will often stand at the top of the steps and then lean forward and free fall expecting that we will catch him. so far he has only done this when we are close enough to reach him so there haven't been any bumps and bruises to speak of.. not sure if this lack of fear is to do with his belief that no harm will come to him when we're close by, and therefore he can only do things like that when we're there.. it's pretty scary letting him do things on his own when you know there could be lots of tears if things go wrong, but the smile on his face when he makes it to the top all on his own is worth the butterflies..
